Júníus Meyvant // In Short

Following the release of his new album, Across The Borders, Júníus Meyvant and his full live band, including a brass section, is arriving in the UK this month to play a handful of headline shows as part of an extensive European tour. We spoke to the freaky-folk pop artist ahead of tonight’s show at Village Underground to find out a little more about him via some quick-fire questions.

Recorded at the renowned Hljóðriti Studio on the outskirts of Reykjavik, Junius’s most recent offering, Across The Borders, is a richly orchestrated album embracing a wide palette of sounds, awash with soulful and charming melodies. Throughout the eleven tracks, the natural warmth of the Icelandic artist’s unmistakable vocals are matched and heightened by a full string section and brass ensemble, creating a hearty wall of blissful sound. Across The Bordersshowcases the finest of Júníus Meyvant’s freaky-folk pop.
